I feel bad because it seems you may have missed out on some of the best beaches. For swimming, snorkeling, and easy access Anini beach is huge, stunning, and contains a massive reef to protect from the waves. Also Kalihiwai is absolutely stunning.
Can't believe you left out Anini beach on the North Shore. Lots of park along the road easy access and the main beach has facilities. Protected by a long reef and very calm year round. Check it out!
It's the best North Shore swimming anytime of the year. Anini Beach is usually less crowded than Poipu or Hanalei and is really quite breathtaking. The Anini Beach Park has multiple campsites with permits, shade trees, picnic tables, pavilions, restrooms and showers. Ke’e Beach, Haena Beach and Tunnels Beach are awesome on calm water days, so mostly Summer, with parking for Tunnels Beach best at Haena Beach Park. Ke’e Beach has it's own, but get there early. Also On Kauai’s Western shore, Salt Pond Beach Park is really awesome the water anytime and is generally quite clear here as the natural fringing reefs help keep the water fairly calm. You will find restrooms, showers and shade pavilions. Very east access. Aloha!
Thanks so much for this great video! Ive watched it several times as I prepare for my trip & see so many concerns about no parking near many of the beaches & the long hikes to get to them. So big Thank you for your details!!
Glass beach is amazing if you want to pick up Sea Glass and make some home Made jewelry. Salt pound is amazing also most locals on the west side go there.
@@supercommando440 Kauai is the oldest island in the chain and has had time to develop sand beaches. There are many beaches all around the island. If you want to body surf go to pine trees at hanalei bay. If you want to learn to surf hanalei pier. If you are more experienced you can surf the reef at the bay. Other beaches to surf are donkeys (don't remember the actual name) pouipu is a good surf spot, and the beach at lihue in front of the Marriott. this is by no means an exhaustive list. the great thing about it all is there is lots of beaches to explore. And as far as weather is concerned, it's an island. Don't like the weather where your at? Go to the other side of the island. Aloha brah🤙!
It looks like beaches in Kauai are not as swimmable and romantic compare to other islands? I am planning to go to hawaii with girlfriend. Which island should I go?
Essentially Hawaii law that beaches are "public" and not for private companies to profit from. You will find beach chairs at most of the resorts in Maui at Wailea Beach. The Aulani on Oahu also provides beach chairs
Looks like you went after the big rains last year. Those storms washed a lot of trees out to sea and then the waves washed them back up on shore. You probably couldn't get to Ke'e. That's the best beach on the island. Too bad you missed sunset there.
I need help, so here is the deal. I went to Hawaii before (Maui) and it was fun, but I went there at a resort, and it was super super expensive!!! I want to go Kauai with my wife but not at a hotel, this time I want to rent a Airbnb and have access to beaches with out going to hotel (no wrest band) is there public beaches there? that I can go and enjoy my time with out paying this crazy money to hotels? and where exactly? and how to I search for them so I know which Airbnb to get that is close to it please
Not very inspiring… seems like nearly every spot you showcased in this video had choppy, bad surf and WIND. What time of year was this video taken? Where’s the blue water, sun and good surf?
Lovely sand, it has a waterfall in the middle, a huge sea cave at one end, the other end leads to a lush valley best described as garden of eden and there not many tourists (you need a permit to go there).
Not a lot of parking at that beach... I really want to do that hike some day. I have to get over my mortal fear of heights to ever do Crawler's Ledge, though.
I didn't even know you could Kayak it. Is that with a a tour, or just yourselves? Something you need to be fairly experienced to do, or could a relative novice make it OK? I am interested in doing that if it's something a couple of decently in shape 40 year olds with just basic, calm water kayaking experience could do. I wouldn't attempt it solo, though.
What's YOUR favorite beach on Kauai?

Baby beach is the best I've been going there since I was two years old
I was there last week. We liked Poipu Beach and Hanalei Bay.
@@TheWaywardJimmyCollection shhh! let's keep them private! ;)
Anini my favorite.
my wife was working in a Macdonald in kauai for three months back in 2007. Thanks for this video, it reminds her a lot!!!

Thanx for this video.
+Brian Fuller My pleasure. Thanks Brian!
The video was published in Feb 2018, but when was the videos shot?
My favorite beach here is kealia beach
i like the first one best
Great advise
I have been to Maui, oahu, the big island and Kauai. And by far your best bet for beaches is Kauai.
Why? For swimming or surfing? This video didnt really show any surf, the weather looks windy, cloudy. Not impressed.

You should check out Polihale, Anini, and Kealia the next time you're on Kauai.
Is that what the weather is like in the winter season? trying to decide which island has calmer beaches around Christmas.
+maryann lim I shot this in December. I'd say Maui. I've also been there in December and the beaches in Wailea were much better than Kauai
south facing beaches in the winter. NW Pacific storms in winter create huge swells.
Hanamaulu beach is the best beach here!! :D
Thanks for the tip Sean!
Nope to many homeless over there
The view is not good as other beaches.
What about Poli Hale Beach by the Milatary. . So beautiful there
It looks like beaches in Kauai are not as swimmable and romantic compare to other islands? I am planning to go to hawaii with girlfriend. Which island should I go?
I love Kauai!!!
Cool! What's your favorite beach?
Why do HI hotels not have beach chairs and shades like other travel destinations?
Essentially Hawaii law that beaches are "public" and not for private companies to profit from. You will find beach chairs at most of the resorts in Maui at Wailea Beach. The Aulani on Oahu also provides beach chairs

Puu Poa beach has chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Should I live in St. Regis to use them for free?
The chairs and umbrellas belong to Princeville Resort, not for pubic.
Chris I love you, I really do, wish we were friends, but that damn panda toy.......
Hah! Pandas rock! :)

I'd suggest searching around "Poipu Beach" -- easy public access
You are so nice and funny
Thanks Laura!

Blue Water, Sun and good Surf is on Oahu :)
@@YellowProductions What time of the year was this video taken?
You forgot Anini Beach!
I sure did!
I didn't realize that there were others stating the same fact. Sorry I was adding to the redundancy. 😁
It's OK! I'd rather 2 people tell me rather than none! So it's all good! :)
photodivainwa my favorite beach Anini, real name is wanini, but the “W” fell off.
I was just on anohola
Neat
Nobody says PO EE POO
Lol. And K Ahh Lahh paahh kee
@@mahielumwon5939 and hanalee
Your Hawaiian pronunciation is pretty good. You seem to do better with the longer words than with the shorter words lol
Thanks Richard! :)
"Hana lie"? 🤙
The best beach is Kalaulau beach.
Why do you like Kalaulau the best?
Lovely sand, it has a waterfall in the middle, a huge sea cave at one end, the other end leads to a lush valley best described as garden of eden and there not many tourists (you need a permit to go there).
Not a lot of parking at that beach...
I really want to do that hike some day. I have to get over my mortal fear of heights to ever do Crawler's Ledge, though.
we kayak in. takes couple of hours v's a whole day hike . I hear ya on the fear of hieghts, that trail looks like it has some sketchy moments.
I didn't even know you could Kayak it. Is that with a a tour, or just yourselves? Something you need to be fairly experienced to do, or could a relative novice make it OK?

This dude rich?
Me? Nope!
Are they hiring at your job then?! I speak four languagues. haha
KEIKI pool not KK pool
Sorry! Hawiaan pronunciation is hard for me!
